  • Can I drive my W204 C63 AMG from England, to Scotland and then turn around and drive to Wales.. all on one tank of fuel? Considering the car is powered by the legendary M156 6.2L V8.. I might face some difficulties!

    280 - 300 miles?! I’m lucky if I get 190 from mine, sound is expensive 😂

      Show off, brimed it the other day and range leaving petrol station said 143 miles haha. Range warning light comes on before I even hit 1/4 tank
      I swear 80% of the fuel goes on generating that glorious sound!
      To be fair the big V8 at 70mph is barely above tickover and does 26-28mph, just around town start stop and wanting to hear that exhaust I'm normally in single digits mpg.
      Best car I've owned and I have had m3s , 911s etc, semi understated, comfortable, quiet when crusing, then sounds like nothing else with endless tyre shredding torque and more character than Any other car (that character is a psychopath with a drinking probl6 who wants to kill you but still you can't help but love it) :)

    I did wonder if you’d manage to go the whole film without a bit of acceleration, just the once on the motorway is showing extreme restraint! Well done 😝💪🏼
    Definitely more efficient on this trip than your last Scotland trip 🤗

    If you’d have backed it off to between 56 and 62 you’d have been into the 30s mpg.

    man you gotta have a p31 or p30 when owning a 500 HP rear wheel drive car. Especially need the LSD option if p31. p30 came with LSD.

    RIP when a full tank for my M5 would be circa £80. Would guess your C63 needing at least £120/130 for a full tank these days?

    • @CarThought
      @CarThought  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only real downside to the w204 C class is that all variants share the same size fuel tank (60 litres) regardless of engine size. So the C63 only has a 60L tank.. meaning it’s around £105 from empty at current rates.
